I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington after working as an engineer in the industry for a couple of years. My research is analyzing heart failure patients' heart rate time series to better identify candidates for Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Therapy. After graduation, my goal is to work in research and development in biotechnology.
Specialties: Nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes, data analysis
Teaching Assistant @ I have been teaching Junior-level and Senior-level systems and dynamics courses at the University of Washington. Duties include teaching recitation sessions, laboratory sessions, holding office hours and grading exams and homework. From September 2011 to Present (4 years 4 months) Graduate Student @ My research is analyzing heart failure patients' heart rate time series to better identify candidates for Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Therapy. It requires knowledge in signal processing, nonlinear dynamics, data analysis and programming in MATLAB. I also worked as a TA for undergraduate courses which included Systems and Dynamics, Instrumentation and Finite Element Analysis. From 2011 to Present (4 years) Mechanical Engineer @ Enginuity Systems, LLC is a mechanical engineering company specializing in high-performance building design.
My responsibilities:
- Coordinates with electrical engineers and structural engineers regarding air terminal locations and air ductwork design
- Designs air ductwork and drafts with AutoCAD
- Performs load calculation and energy analysis with Carrier’s Hourly Analysis Program
- Performs duct pressure drop calculations
- Models buildings in DesignBuilder
- Performs plumbing design
- Select HVAC equipment
Project experiences:
- Fort Lewis, Stroum Community Center, Pantages Theater From July 2008 to July 2010 (2 years 1 month) Lab Research Assistant @ Worked with graduate students to improve the performance of equipment which was used in research. My accomplishments:
- Developed a module to control a linear power amplifier with LabVIEW
- Developed a data acquisition system with LabVIEW From June 2005 to December 2005 (7 months)
